The end of World War II tends to be remembered as a time of patriotic euphoria in America, but one of the truest homecoming histories comes from the pen of the war's most famous cartoonist. Pulitzer Prize winner Bill Mauldin brought his famous dogface soldiers Willie and Joe home to a changed America, where estranged wives, a lack of housing, and scarce jobs made things tough for GIs returning to civilian life. This second Fantagraphics volume of Mauldin's greatest work presents 265 Willie and Joe cartoons in full-page reproductions, dated from July 31, 1945, through the end of 1946, restoring dozens of cartoons censored by his syndicate for attacking racial segregation and McCarthy-style "witch hunts."
